Stalemate

TT and the boys welcomed back the 'Prez' from his 2 week jaunt to the Carribean at the YTC this date. 'Big Al' DioDati paired with 'Prez' against the the Titan and 'Irish' (sans red socks) Gallagher in a two setter. As expected this contest was much closer than last Tuesday's pairing with each duo coming away with a set. TT/'Irish' prevailed in the opener (6-4) but dropped the second contest (5-7). Kudos to 'Irish' who performed admirably today after last week's poor showing. 'Irish' was effective both with his serve and his unorthodox back hand return against 'Prez' whose game suffered from his absence from the courts in St. Maarten. Indeed, 'Prez' claim that "I couldn't find the range" was belied by his loss of a step on the court today. Titan is certain that 'Prez' surely "found the refrigerator, if the not the range" on his vacation as evidenced by the 5 extra pounds he carried around the court. It appeared that Titan and 'Big Al', both scheduled to play on Thursday in a more demanding game, were holding back their arsenal. We shall soon see. 'Prez' needs some Kinsley time to regain 'his form.'
